Web Parts enable users to directly modify the content, appearance, and behavior of SharePoint site pages by using a browser. This walkthrough shows you how to create a Web Part by using the Web Part item template in Visual Studio 2010.

The Web Part displays employees in a data grid. The user specifies the location of the file that contains the employee data. The user can also filter the data grid so that employees who are managers appear in the list only.

This walkthrough illustrates the following tasks:

  • Creating a Web Part by using the Visual Studio Web Part item template.

  • Creating a property that can be set by the user of the Web Part. This property specifies the location of the employee data file.

  • Rendering content in a Web Part by adding controls to the Web Part controls collection.

  • Creating a new menu item, referred to as a verb, that appears in the verbs menu of the rendered Web part. Verbs enable the user to modify the data that appears in the Web Part.

  • Testing the Web Part in SharePoint.

    Note

    Your computer might show different names or locations for some of the Visual Studio user interface elements in the following instructions. The Visual Studio edition that you have and the settings that you use determine these elements. For more information, see Personalize the Visual Studio IDE.

Prerequisites

  • Supported editions of Microsoft Windows and SharePoint.

  • Visual Studio 2017 or Azure DevOps Services.

Create an empty SharePoint project

First, create a Empty SharePoint project. Later, you will add a Web Part to the project by using the Web Part item template.

  1. Start Visual Studio by using the Run as Administrator option.

  2. On the men bar, choose File > New > Project.

  3. In the New Project dialog box, expand the SharePoint node under the language that you want to use, and then choose the 2010 node.

  4. In the Templates pane, choose SharePoint 2010 Project, and then choose the OK button.

    The SharePoint Customization Wizard appears. This wizard enables you to select the site that you will use to debug the project and the trust level of the solution.

  5. Choose the Deploy as a farm solution option button, and then choose the Finish button to accept the default local SharePoint site.

Add a web part to the project

Add a Web Part item to the project. The Web Part item adds the Web Part code file. Later, you will add code to the Web Part code file to render the contents of the Web Part.

  1. On the menu bar, choose Project > Add New Item.

  2. In the Add New Item dialog box, in the Installed Templates pane, expand the SharePoint node, and then choose the 2010 node.

  3. In the list of SharePoint templates, choose the Web Part template, and then choose the Add button.

    The Web Part item appears in Solution Explorer.

Rendering content in the web part

You can specify which controls you want to appear in the Web Part by adding them to the controls collection of the Web Part class.

  1. In Solution Explorer, open WebPart1.vb (in Visual Basic) or WebPart1.cs (in C#).

    The Web Part code file opens in Code Editor.

  2. Add the following directives to the top of the Web Part code file.

    using System.Data;

    Imports System.Data

  3. Add the following code to the WebPart1 class. This code declares the following fields:

    • A data grid to display employees in the Web Part.

    • Text that appears on the control that is used to filter the data grid.

    • A label that displays an error if the data grid is unable to display data.

    • A string that contains the path of the employee data file.

      private DataGrid grid;
private static string verbText = "Show Managers Only";
private Label errorMessage = new Label();
protected string xmlFilePath;

      Private grid As DataGrid
Private Shared verbText As String = "Show Managers Only"
Private errorMessage As New Label()
Protected xmlFilePath As String

  4. Add the following code to the WebPart1 class. This code adds a custom property named DataFilePath to the Web Part. A custom property is a property that can be set in SharePoint by the user. This property gets and sets the location of a XML data file that is used to populate the data grid.

    [Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared), WebBrowsable(true),
WebDisplayName("Path to Employee Data File"),
WebDescription("Location of the XML file that contains employee data")]
public string DataFilePath
{
    get
    {
        return xmlFilePath;
    }
    set
    {
        xmlFilePath = value;
    }
}

    <Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.[Shared]), _
    WebBrowsable(True), WebDisplayName("Path to Employee Data File"), _
    WebDescription("Location of the XML file that contains employee data")> _
Public Property DataFilePath() As String
    Get
        Return xmlFilePath
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        xmlFilePath = value
    End Set
End Property

  5. Replace the CreateChildControls method with the following code. This code performs the following tasks:

    • Adds the data grid and label that you declared in the previous step.

    • Binds the data grid to an XML file that contains employee data.

      protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
    // Define the grid control that displays employee data in the Web Part.
    grid = new DataGrid();
    grid.Width = Unit.Percentage(100);
    grid.GridLines = GridLines.Horizontal;
    grid.HeaderStyle.CssClass = "ms-vh2";
    grid.CellPadding = 2;
    grid.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(5);
    grid.HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = true;
    grid.HeaderStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center;

    // Populate the grid control with data in the employee data file.
    try
    {
        DataSet dataset = new DataSet();
        dataset.ReadXml(xmlFilePath, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);
        grid.DataSource = dataset;
        grid.DataBind();
    }
    catch (Exception x)
    {
        errorMessage.Text += x.Message;
    }

    // Add control to the controls collection of the Web Part.
    Controls.Add(grid);
    Controls.Add(errorMessage);
    base.CreateChildControls();
}

      Protected Overloads Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()

    'Define the grid control that displays employee data in the Web Part.
    grid = New DataGrid()
    With grid
        .Width = Unit.Percentage(100)
        .GridLines = GridLines.Horizontal
        .HeaderStyle.CssClass = "ms-vh2"
        .CellPadding = 2
        .BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(5)
        .HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = True
        .HeaderStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center
    End With



    'Populate the grid control with data in the employee data file.
    Try
        Dim dataset As New DataSet()
        dataset.ReadXml(xmlFilePath, XmlReadMode.InferSchema)
        grid.DataSource = dataset
        grid.DataBind()
    Catch x As Exception
        errorMessage.Text += x.Message
    End Try

    'Add control to the controls collection of the Web Part.
    Controls.Add(grid)
    Controls.Add(errorMessage)
    MyBase.CreateChildControls()

End Sub

  6. Add the following method to the WebPart1 class. This code performs the following tasks:

    • Creates a verb that appears in the Web Part verbs menu of the rendered Web part.

    • Handles the event that is raised when the user chooses the verb in the verbs menu. This code filters the list of employees that appears in the data grid.

      public override WebPartVerbCollection Verbs
{
    get
    {
        WebPartVerb customVerb = new WebPartVerb("Manager_Filter_Verb",
            new WebPartEventHandler(CustomVerbEventHandler));

        customVerb.Text = verbText;
        customVerb.Description = "Shows only employees that are managers";

        WebPartVerb[] newVerbs = new WebPartVerb[] { customVerb };

        return new WebPartVerbCollection(base.Verbs, newVerbs);
    }
}

protected void CustomVerbEventHandler(object sender, WebPartEventArgs args)
{
    int titleColumn = 2;

    foreach (DataGridItem item in grid.Items)
    {
        if (item.Cells[titleColumn].Text != "Manager")
        {
            if (item.Visible == true)
            {
                item.Visible = false;
            }
            else
            {
                item.Visible = true;
            }
        }

    }
    if (verbText == "Show Managers Only")
    {
        verbText = "Show All Employees";
    }
    else
    {
        verbText = "Show Managers Only";
    }
}

      Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Verbs() As WebPartVerbCollection
    Get
        Dim customVerb As New WebPartVerb("Manager_Filter_Verb", _
            New WebPartEventHandler(AddressOf CustomVerbEventHandler))

        customVerb.Text = verbText
        customVerb.Description = "Shows only employees that are managers"

        Dim newVerbs() As WebPartVerb = {customVerb}

        Return New WebPartVerbCollection(MyBase.Verbs, newVerbs)
    End Get
End Property

Protected Sub CustomVerbEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As WebPartEventArgs)
    Dim titleColumn As Integer = 2

    Dim item As DataGridItem
    For Each item In grid.Items
        If item.Cells(titleColumn).Text <> "Manager" Then
            If item.Visible = True Then
                item.Visible = False
            Else
                item.Visible = True
            End If
        End If
    Next item
    If verbText = "Show Managers Only" Then
        verbText = "Show All Employees"
    Else
        verbText = "Show Managers Only"
    End If
End Sub

Test the web part

When you run the project, the SharePoint site opens. The Web Part is automatically added to the Web Part Gallery in SharePoint. You can add the Web Part to any Web Part page.

  1. Paste the following XML into a Notepad file. This XML file contains the sample data that will appear in the Web Part.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <employees xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/vsto/samples">
       <employee>
           <name>David Hamilton</name>
           <hireDate>2001-05-11</hireDate>
           <title>Sales Associate</title>
       </employee>
       <employee>
           <name>Karina Leal</name>
           <hireDate>1999-04-01</hireDate>
           <title>Manager</title>
       </employee>
       <employee>
           <name>Nancy Davolio</name>
           <hireDate>1992-05-01</hireDate>
           <title>Sales Associate</title>
       </employee>
       <employee>
           <name>Steven Buchanan</name>
           <hireDate>1955-03-04</hireDate>
           <title>Manager</title>
       </employee>
       <employee>
           <name>Suyama Michael</name>
           <hireDate>1963-07-02</hireDate>
           <title>Sales Associate</title>
       </employee>
    </employees>
